WMI Probe Module Failed Execution on W2k servers after SP1 RTM upgrade.

There is a known problem with the Microsoft.SystemCenter.DiscoverWindowsOSProperties discovery on w2k servers. On w2k3 servers it works OK.

The alert looks like this:

Object enumeration failed Query: 'SELECT
Version,Caption,BuildNumber,CSDVersion,ServicePackMajorVersion,ServicePackMinorVersion,SerialNumber,InstallDate,SystemDrive,WindowsDirectory,TotalVisibleMemorySize
FROM Win32_OperatingSystem' HRESULT: 0x80041017 Details: Invalid query One
or more workflows were affected by this. Workflow name:
Microsoft.SystemCenter.DiscoverWindowsOSProperties


Current work around is to make a override for this discovery for Windows 2000 Server group. Microsoft is looking in to this issue.
